Correct Answer: 112 kg


Solution : Given:
The mean weight of 8 students = 57 kg

⇒The sum of the weight of 8 students = Mean weight of 8 students × number of students = 57 × 8 = 456
⇒The sum of weight of each student = (55 + 49 + 57 + 63 + 68 + 52 + X + Y)kg
⇒55 + 49 + 57 + 63 + 68 + 52 + X + Y = 456
344 + X + Y = 456
X + Y = 456 – 344
X + Y = 112

So, the sum of X and Y is 112 kg. Hence, the second option is correct.
